PSYCHOTHERAPY
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
Systemic therapy or family therapy
Systemic therapy or family therapy considers the person in their relational environment (family, professional, friends, etc.), both in the present and in the past.
Cognitive and behavioural therapy
Cognitive and behavioural therapy uses practical tools to help treat symptoms directly (such as phobias, OCD and anxiety).
Ericksonian and Conversational Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a natural state that we all experience several times a day (in the moonlight, sporting/artistic activities, driving, reading, etc.). Ericksonian/Conversational Hypnosis is a gentle method that respects the client’s experience and well-being. The therapist’s mission is to go beyond the conscious part of the person and enter into a dialogue with the unconscious to bring out and modify deep-rooted issues.
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)
EFT is a powerful tool for releasing emotions that are blocked in the psyche and body, sometimes from early childhood. It combines body energy with psychology and neuro-linguistic programming.
HIGH POTENTIAL DIAGNOSIS & QI ASSESSMENTS
- A qualitative assessment of the emotional, relational and academic spheres (during an initial interview);
- Questionnaires, particularly on hypersensitivity, multiple intelligences and emotional intelligence (for adults);
- An IQ test (using the Wechsler scales);
- A written report and tailored advice.
Diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder with or without Hyperactivity (ADHD)
- An anamnesis interview to take stock of the patient’s behaviours and characteristics and their impact on their life and that of those around them. Additional clinical questionnaires will also be submitted to the patient or parents/teachers as required.
- Several sets of standardised tests are administered to assess the patient’s intellectual and cognitive functioning. Depending on the objectives of the assessment, various tools may be proposed: the WECHSLER scales, the NEPSY-II, the TEA-Ch, the TAP, etc.
- A detailed report including an analysis of the results and personalised recommendations tailored to the patient’s specific needs.
PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
The assessment is carried out over 3-4 sessions, using drawings, psycho-affective tests, games and observation. Following the assessment, the psychologist shares ideas and tools with the parents, and may also suggest a follow-up programme for the young person to help them deal with their problems.
Support for high-potential individuals and parents of high-potential children
Support for high-potential individuals and parents of high-potential childrenPsychological support for high-potential individuals can be beneficial at any stage of life, depending on the difficulties encountered. At our centre, we offer tailor-made support, adapted to the needs, expectations and age of each patient.
Parental support enables the parents of a high-potential child to better understand their child’s particularities and unique way of functioning. It also provides them with tools to improve communication at home and at school, and to manage daily tensions and emotional crises, thereby fostering a more harmonious environment that is adapted to their child’s needs.
PARENTAL GUIDANCE
The aim of parental guidance (educational advice) is to help parents adjust to the specific needs of their child(ren). We offer tools to help parents develop a positive, caring approach to parenting, learn to set limits and manage conflict so that they can rediscover the pleasure of living together as a family.
We also help to detect and recognise the beginnings of parental burn-out, so that it can be avoided or overcome.
Perinatal
We offer psychotherapy for mothers and babies, or for pregnant families,
or for young mothers and fathers. The conception and birth of a child
always destabilises the future parents or the family that has already been built.
During pregnancy and shortly afterwards, life inevitably changes and evolves. Many of
these events can be unpredictable and unexpected, most of them joyful, others
difficult. This is one of the reasons why perinatal support and
psychotherapy can be essential. We work on themes such as
the family, attachment theory (the parent-baby bond), perinatal depression
and post-partum depression.
DISCUSSION GROUPS - THEMED WORKSHOPS
Sophrology workshops are offered to help with childbirth, as well as on various themes for children and teenagers.
We also offer discussion groups on the theme of high potential.
If you would like to be kept informed of future groups or workshops, please send us an email.
GROUPES DE PAROLES - ATELIERS A THEMES
COLLABORATION WITH SCHOOLS AND EXTERNAL PROFESSIONALS
We work very regularly with teachers and other professionals. This is often beneficial, as some children with high potential and/or hypersensitivity experience difficulties at school (boredom, relational difficulties, rejection, etc.) or have other associated cognitive difficulties (dys disorders, hyperactivity, etc.). In this type of situation, we feel it is essential for the professionals working with these children to be able to work together to provide them with better support.
TRAINING, SUPERVISION, CONFERENCES
On request, we provide training for teachers on how to deal with high-potential children in schools.
We also offer conferences on the subject and supervision for professionals.
